Yesterday, the DIU community gathered to celebrate Dr. Robin Harris and her retirement from her role as Chair of the Center for Excellence in World Arts (CEWA) after more than 15 years of faithful service and leadership at Dallas International University.

Since joining DIU in 2010, Robin has served as a professor, mentor, scholar, and leader. As CEWA Chair, she helped shape one of the world's leading programs focused on the intersection of arts, worship, culture, and mission. Through her teaching, research, and global ministry influence, she has equipped students and leaders from around the world while advancing the important work of ethnodoxology and the use of local arts in God's mission.

Robin's impact reaches far beyond our campus. Her leadership in the Global Ethnodoxology Network, service within the broader missions community, extensive scholarship, and commitment to helping every people and culture worship God through their own artistic expressions have left a lasting mark on the global Church.

While we celebrate this milestone, we are grateful that Robin's investment in DIU is not ending. She will continue serving as Coordinator of Doctoral Programs and as a member of our faculty, helping guide and mentor the next generation of global leaders.

Please join us in thanking Dr. Robin Harris for her faithful service and leadership as CEWA Chair and congratulating her on this well-deserved transition!

Dallas International University celebrated its 27th Commencement Exercises on May 8 as 21 graduates crossed the stage representing programs in World Arts, Applied Linguistics, Translation Advising, and International Service.

The evening was filled with worship, celebration, and gratitude for God’s faithfulness throughout each student’s journey. From powerful moments of artistic worship to encouraging words from commencement speaker Estella Trostle of Wycliffe USA, it was a night to remember.

Congratulations to the Class of 2026. We are proud of you and excited to see how God will use you around the world.

This week, DIU hosted a Grammar Cheat Sheet Workshop facilitated by Andreas Joswig, Ph.D., SIL Global Grammar Writing Services Coordinator.
Many Bible translation teams around the world do not have regular access to linguistic support. This workshop focused on helping translation consultants better address grammar questions while also checking for exegetical accuracy.
The goal is to make high-quality grammatical information more accessible by creating concise, 5–10 page “cheat sheets” that highlight the most translation-relevant features of a language.

In just 10 days, more than 40 donors helped make something extraordinary possible.

Dallas International University has officially reached the fundraising goal needed to launch Arts & Trauma Healing training in Ukraine this summer.

The first cohort of students is already moving through the admissions process, and leaders in Ukraine will soon begin training to bring healing, hope, and resilience to communities deeply affected by war and trauma.

We are overwhelmed by the generosity, prayers, and support that made this possible. God has been incredibly faithful.

Today is the deadline for us to fully fund and launch DIU’s Arts & Trauma Healing program in Ukraine for Summer 2026.

So far, by God’s grace, we have raised more than 30% of the $65,000 needed. The response in such a short amount of time has been encouraging, but there is still much needed if we are able to launch the program this summer.

If we are unable to fully fund the program for this summer, we will continue raising support so the program can begin next summer. Either way, every gift will go directly toward Arts & Trauma Healing efforts in Ukraine.

We recently shared this story from Kyiv that gives a glimpse into why this work matters so deeply: https://www.diu.edu/diu-today/worship-lament-and-healing-in-ukraine/

Please pray for this initiative and for the Ukrainian leaders preparing to bring healing and hope to communities affected by war.
